*Note: [San Mateo Times 03Feb1964]
TV Screening Bob Foster says: "Watching the Johnny Carson Show is like trying to give up smoking.
Once you get started, you can't leave it alone.
The other night after the 11 o'clock news, I decided to take a glimpse at the Carson affair: just 15 minutes.
I finally rolled into bed at about 12:30am and then rather reluctantly. The reason for sticking around was the
presence of Allan Sherman, ex-television writer who has made a fortune on parodies.
In conversation with Carson last Thursday night, Allan was as usual funny. He sang a song, fooled around with guests.
He and Johnny seemed to be properly tuned in. It is such goings on that have made the "Tonight Show"
of this year probably as good as it has ever been."
